For an $80 chair there's not much room for complaints, but in all fairness - fake leather generally starts peeling long before a fabric chair would start seeing damage

Leather grades in order from best to just get fabric instead:

Full grain
Top grain/Corrected
Genuine
Bonded (seriously, just get fabric instead)

The problem with bonded leather is the surface layer is literally painted glue with a leather texture, the animal product isn't even on the surface. It's a good way for manufacturers to limit waste product and minimize losses but for the consumer, outside of not letting animal product go to waste there is negative value in this material as it's a matter of when not if it will fail.

Feel free to call me a leather snob; In reality I can't afford to replace things after only a few months.

Someone is going to educate us here about how mere peasants sit on bonded leather.

I bought two bonded leather chair similar to this, both started to peel around 2 years time. Also pay around this much each. So around 40 a year or spent little more for better quality or go with mesh. Just my 2 cents.
